Behind the walls of the historic tower school, a Baroque building dating from 1795, a rich exhibition unfolds. Here, one finds not only icons in the classical sense, but also a wide range of Eastern Orthodox artworks. These range from carved and cast crosses to liturgical objects and goldsmith work. For those wishing to experience the fascinating connection between pagan late antiquity and early Christianity in Egypt, the Coptic section of the museum is an absolute must. High-quality reliefs and mummy portraits bear witness to the artistic diversity of this era.
